    Abstract

    Proposed in this study is a model for transport of solutes in a porous medium participating in a dissolution/precipitation reaction, in general not in equilibrium. For an unbounded spatial domain, travelling wave solutions exist, if and only if the charge distribution is constant and the situation is a dissolution situation. The travelling wave in fact exhibits a sharp dissolution front. The wave is given in a nearly explicit manner. Also for the limit cases of equilibrium or no dispersion, travelling waves are established under the same conditions, but with different qualitative properties.
